Firewall for Linux??

Anybody know a good software firewall for Linux?

I've been skimming the net but can't find a decent one.
Most of them are outdated and no longer in development.

I don't use a router for my wireless connection.
Besides, I believe software firewalls have greater control and more configurable than hardware ones.

Any recommendation is much appreciated

 

Normally all distro carry IPtables.
If you know your way around and are comfortable with command line, IPtables is made for you.
Here is a short tutorial for the same:

There are also many GUI available for IPtables. IMO, the best is Firewall Builder

 

and about Firestarter? simple and looks good.

 

which linux you use for every linux it self have a iptable ipfw and ipfilter...etc so if you use all you need is a gui mode for that firewall if you use ubuntu it have ufw(Uncomplicated Firewall ) to set iptables you can also use GUI for Uncomplicated Firewall (GUFW)
